Man my bike has run 20k km and still is running better than new. So it is a question of maintenance rather than quality.

Some of my observation:-

1. He adjusted the tappets without gauge, how did he knew the gap without feeler gauge. Since in extreme both the tappets have different settings then how did he set that. Moreover when replacing cylinder kit he has adjusted the timing, then why the need of again adjusting. Timing needs to adjusted only when timing sprocket is removed from chain.That means he has messed up the adjustment first time.

2. Why was the bore changed at 29k on odo. May be bad running-in or irregular engine oil change. Just two to three days ago i was looking into my extreme bore through the spark hole using a powerful pencil beam torch and after 20k bike bore has still the honing mark present. The Honing marks are clearly visible. There are extremes here which have crossed 50-60k mark without any major maintenance.So why was it changed so early just ponder over it and you will get your answer.

3. Moreover the original clutch plates are not priced that high for no reason. And who said clutch wears out at 8k kms. My bike is at 20k and still clutch is as sharp as the day i bought it. Moreover the clutch having scratch marks then let me tell you it will have that mark as it is a friction item and will rub against each other. Moreover from the pictures that you have posted the clutch center easily shows that you are riding the clutch or your clutch has no free play which is not completely dis-engaging the clutch which is making it burnt is so much less running.

4. Rear disc brake, then let me tell you by looking at the piston that with so much rust it denotes that you are not maintaining the caliper assembly neither servicing it. With so much rust the piston will not return back and instead will cause pad wear.Moreover while braking the piston will move in jam manner which will cause the pad to wear out faster.
So regular servicing is important.I am not blaming you, may be you do not know how to service on your own and the mechanics are ruining the bike more. So it is not the fault of bike but regular service of bike will make it less maintenance bike.

If all the members want i can post a detail service list here on what to do in 2000 km service and how to do it on your own.

Hello People,

I have an issue with my bike. Her riding is very uncertain. I am not sure what it is, I constantly feel as if the tires are punctured or something like that. I have checked and the tyre pressure is ok, and the rims do not have any bends in them. I am not sure why the bike feels like it is wobbling. Especially on wet roads. Any suggestions guys??

Thanks.

Did you by any chance replace the tyre or tube ? Was the wheel removed anytime recently (may be to fix a puncture ?) ? Do update us on this issue?

on a main stand rotate the wheel and check if your tyre is fitted properly on the rim. Hold your wheel and move lateral, there shouldn't be any play. If there is any play your bearings are gone. Check the mark of wheel in swing arm to see if wheel is running straight. Check chain slack too if its not tight. Check rear shock absorbers too if oil is not leaked. If any of the two shock become soft then also one can experience wobbling. If all this checkups doesnt help then check swing arm bushes too.
I hope this help.

Anyone can say seeing your spark plug, its perfect yaar. Good!!
do check my signature on how to change fork oil.

Hi Paul,

I had a puncture on my front wheel and while fitting it back they hadn't fitted it properly to the wheel. I had to go back and get it refitted that day. But now it seems to be fine. Also, the wheel is straight and there seems to be no issues with the bearing. I am not sure how to check the swingarm. The rear shock absorbers are not leaking but I think they might have become soft. Can I fix them without getting them replaced?

Hi,

Yes, I did have a puncture in the front tyre and had the tube replaced at that time. Come to think of it, that day they didn't fit the tyre properly that day and I had to go back to them to get it removed and fitted again the same day. Could it be that the problem is because of the front tyre not being fitted properly that day?

Well , if its refitted properly then nothing to worry . How about wheel balancing and alignment ? Not sure how its done on bikes . The ASC once said that they would do it , well I do not trust them. Check with a reputed wheel balancing \ alignment center in your city. See if it helps . Do you observe any uneven wear on the tyres ?

Please update, now where do you stand? Is it wobbling now?

Besides sibun's guide, my past carb tuning experience on Honda Activa has proved useful to me. It was my third time I got the correct tuning. Moreover, the idle rpm in morning is very much stable at around 900-1000rpm without shutting down the engine and that too without the choke.

By the way, I have never tried to open front forks before this. Paul, your guide might prove useful but I am bit afraid whether it requires any special skill or experience.

What are the other options for buying fork oil? Its somewhat difficult to get Motul 20W

Hi,

I do not see any uneven wear on the tyres, though I guess there is plenty of wear on both of them now. I constantly get the feel that one of them or both is punctured while riding, even though the air pressure is ok. I don't know whether its just in my head or something is actually wrong. I sure wish I can get to the problem, whatever it is and the service centre guys are not much help. I will try to go to a MRF showroom and see if they do the balancing for a two wheeler. I have never heard of it being done for a bike before though. My tyres do have those balancing thingies in them. I will try and update

Yes buddy, it is still wobbling now, yesterday I stopped my bike three times on my way home to check if either of the tires was punctured. They seem ok, and have good pressure. I have no clue to what is wrong with her.

Did you check the wheel alignment marks on the left and right of swing arm are aligned on both sides, as Paul had suggested?
How much air pressure you maintain in the tires?

Anyways try with balancing wheels also, as you said.

Hi Satson,

You mean the marks on the part where the tire is fitted, right? they are the same. I maintain a pressure of 40 in the rear tire and 30 in the front tire. I am going for a new set of tires later this month. I guess if its anything wrong with the tires it should be solved by then, and at that time I will get the balancing done too. Lets see how that turns out. By the way, if I need to adjust my shock absorbers for a rough road, in what position should they be? Currently they both are in the first position(the smallest notch).

Okay.
The shock absorbers get softer as they are set taller.
By first position, I believe you mean the shock absorber is set lower which means it is in harder setting.

Isn't it the other way around

The New Console on New Xtreme looks really good, looks like some Alien-Tech
Hope they have increased its power to 16bhp

The bike looks too slender, doesn't have the muscular features at all
